	Lyle Mays - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		His albums as a leader reflect a large variety of musical interests: "Lyle Mays" and "Street Dreams" expand the ideas of the Pat Metheny Group, while "Fictionary" is a straight-ahead jazz trio session featuring Marc Johnson on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums.
		As a composer Mays is interested in the complex form, expanding the motifs and most often building suspense by gradation and ascension.
		Mays' oeuvre is disappointingly small; critics evince frustration with a talent such as his (manifested on "Fictionary") laying fallow.

	Jazz Artist Interview - Lyle Mays - Part Two@ jazzreview.com
		Lyle Mays: Well, Pat came up with that title and I thought it was a pretty clever way of letting people know that the notes you're hearing are all coming from the piano.
		Lyle Mays: Yes and no. I mean, all the sort of prepared piano samples...the real sound-effecty things were things that I made from samples that I had recorded out in LA. There are times when I'll use a commercial patch on a synth, but I usually alter it in some way.
		Lyle Mays: Starting with around the time of 'First Circle,' we started doing more complete composing before we'd go on the roadmainly because we were getting heavily involved with sequencers, drum machines and trying to integrate that technology.

		Lyle Mays pulled that which was not obvious and created the improvised compositions of his long awaited new album, "Solo - Improvisations for Expanded Piano." At the same time, Mays has accomplished what he has always done with the Pat Metheny Group: surprised us, baffled, mystified, intrigued and inspired us.
		May’s first self-titled album remains a testament to creativity and nuance in the pursuit of evocation of mood and imagery.
		Lyle Mays: Well, I knew I wanted to use Frisell because I was just such a fan and I thought that his sensibilities would be perfect for the music.

		For Lyle Mays, it was to pull that which is not obvious from the piano to create the improvised compositions of his long-awaited new record, "Solo - Improvisations for Expanded Piano".
		Upon hearing Mays latest record, "Solo...", it should come as no surprise that his interests extend to things beyond music, and which bring new perspective to it, least of all his interest in architecture (particularly Wright), to the point of having designed his sister's home.
		May's first record ("Lyle Mays") remains a testament to creativity and nuance in the pursuit of evocation of mood and imagery.

		Lyle's new disc, unambiguously entitled Solo, bears a subtitle that only hints at the fusion of disciplines he has brought to bear on the project: "Improvisations for expanded piano." Haunting and dark upon first listen, the album reveals more with every spin.
		It's characteristic Lyle Mays, but there is a depth to it that will surprise even his most avid fans.
		Lyle conceived of the album as being created in two stages: First, to record on a Yamaha Disklavier to capture both audio and MIDI performances simultaneously, and second, to use the MIDI data to create a synthesized orchestration.

		Lyle Mays' place in jazz history is assured as the man who co-wrote many of the Pat Metheny Group's greatest songs.
		This was Lyle Mays' first solo outing, and of the four I own, it is the only one of his CDs with the scale and the ambition that endeavours to push Lyle into the pantheon of jazz greats.
		Mays is always at the forefront of the mix, and yet he elicits magnificent performances from his band, particularly Bill Frisell.

		Both Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays have been working together for a long time, their partnership creating an interesting blend of guitar and keyboards that never seems to get flat or boring.
		This particular set was recorded in 1980, with Pat Metheny on electric and acoustic six and twelve string guitars, and bass; Lyle Mays on piano, synthesizer, organ and autoharp, with Nana Vasconcelos on berimbau, percussion, drums and vocals.
		Metheny's guitar work is more than a match for Mays' technique, and you get the vague sense that there was a little competition going on in the first few moments before it settles down into a more sedate pace before it takes off again, circling around to the begining.

		Néanmoins, cet enregistrement n'est pas le premier sous son nom puisqu'il a déjà à son actif 3 albums (Lyle Mays en 1985, Street Dreams en 1988 et une très bonne séance en 1992 en compagnie de Marc Johnson et Jack DeJohnette).

		Partie intégrante du Pat Metheny Group depuis sa rencontre avec le guitariste en 75, Lyle Mays a rarement enregistré un album sous son nom et c'est donc un Fictionary publié en 92 qu'il nous est donné d'écouter ici.
		Lyle Mays aurait pu choisir plus mal ses accompagnateurs : le bassiste Marc Johnson excelle à improviser les lignes de basses, dans la forme dialoguée du trio justement (il fit partie de la dernière formation de Bill Evans).
		Lyle Mays a gravé depuis, en 2000, un album solo Improvisations for expanded piano.

		Then Lyle released this album and put his solo recording career on hold for five years, until the release of 1993's 'fictionary'.
		Speaking as someone who loves the Pat Metheny Group and Lyle Mays' playing in general, I'd have to say that this CD is a mixed bag.
		At times quiet and contemplative, at times lively and spirited, it all bears the Mays trademark breathtaking virtuosity - I firmly believe that Mays is one of the most underrated talents of the time and has lived in the shadow of Metheny for too long...

	Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays - As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls @ Soundbug
		Guitarist Pat Metheny and his longtime keyboard collaborator/alter ego Lyle Mays saw in their rural American roots a mystical connection to an entire world of sounds, and with As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls, they began the process of fashioning an idiomatic folk expression all their own.
		In the four square major modes of "Ozark" and "It's for You" you can hear the beige tinge of the American experience that melded with African American music to give the U.S. its musical depth and breadth, while "September Fifteenth" is a prayerful, ruminative reflection on the spirit of their romantic forebear, pianist Bill Evans.
		The jewel of the crown is to my mind, September Fifteenth (dedicated to Bill Evans' memory), in which we admire the warmth and simple but expressive tribute paid for Pat and Lyle Mays.
